Protective effect of Pepto-Bismol liquid on the gastric mucosa of rats. 1975

M M Goldenberg, and L J Honkomp, and S E Burrous, and A W Castellion

Pepto-Bismol liquid (primary active constituent, bismuth subsalicy-late) protected the gastric mucosa of rats against the formation of hemorrhagic lesions or erosions in response to cold + restraint stress, to a combination of aspirin and cold + restraint stress, and to ethyl alcohol. The protective effect of Pepto-Bismol in these studies was clearly demonstrated. Although the mechanism of action of Pepto-Bismol was not delineated, there was a suggestion that the degree of coating of the gastric mucosa was related to protection.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
